Functional techniques for increasing reliability of agricultural machinery

Abstract

The research objective is to investigate the key reliability man-agement techniques for the agricultural machinery. A servicea-bility strategic management technique is used to study this issue. The analysis allows assessing strengths and weaknesses of the methods used to improve the reliability of products. The reliability management techniques during the current and scheduled repairs, maintenance work, as well as methods based on the queueing theory, are described. The application of each of the techniques at different operational stages contributes to the reliability engineering. Thus, the need for the problem solution to specify a number of theoretical distribution laws is ascertained. It is shown that the routine maintenance and repair timing shall comply with the deadlines to meet the requirements of the technical specifications for the reliability of the equipment in operation.
